So I'm nearing the end of my backlog after 3 years of slugging it out, grinding out games in the trenches. Really, since I'm ignoring stuff like the FEAR and Risen serieses since I got them in a humble bundle and have no desire to play them, what remains in my backlog is Shadowrun Returns, Red Faction: Armageddon, Fallout 2, and finishing Witcher 3 and Cthulhu Saves the World. As I near the end of this road (and hopefully learn my lesson about buying massive game bundles), I originally was going to to ask what games you would sacrifice in order to make your game library smaller (yeah, I'm looking at you Arkham Origins). But then, I decided to do something a bit more positive: what would you save?

TL; DR:

So here's what I would save if I had to downsize my library, and choose 10 games from my total collection. What are your's?:

1. Batman: Arkham Asylum
2. Bioshock: Infinite
3. Borderlands 2
4. Fallout: New Vegas
5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
6. LA Noire
7. Mount & Blade: Warband
8. Civilization 5
9. Icewind Dale
10. Tomb Raider (2013)

There are no rules about what you can and cannot save. You can have more than one game from a franchise, save a F2P game, subscription game, whatever. It's entirely up to you. Also, assume that you are saving complete games with all their DLCs/expansions, even if you might not own every DLC/expansion.

1. SW - KOTOR
2. Fallout 1
3. Fallout New Vegas (PS3)
4. Ageod's Civil War II
5. X-com (PS3)
6. Morrowind
7. Rome - Total War
8. Gary Grigsby's War in the East
9. Doom
10. Silent Hunter III

I think that list would keep me satisfied for a long, long time.

Hmm...now that you bring it up, I may substitute KOTOR in for Borderlands 2. Great choices, especially Rome: Total War.

Oh, that's a tough question. I'll try, though (and still regret it in the alternative universe that this catastrophe occurs). In alphabetical order:

Blood
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Diablo 2
Doom
Duke Nukem 3D
The Legend of Zelda
Planescape: Torment
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3

I'm assuming we can also list console games:

Planescape torment
Final Fantasy X
Fallout 2
Bioshock
Wizardry VIII
Star wars Knights of the old republic
Vampire the masquerade Bloodlines
Crusader Kings II
Monster Hunter freedom Unite
X-com enemy unknown

you can list whatever you want man. I like the XCOM listing btw.

10 games to keep for me...

1. Minecraft
2. Diablo 2
3. S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of Pripyat
4. Icewind Dale
5. Don't Starve
6. Silent Hill 3
7. Morrowind
8. Gran Turismo 2
9. Land Of The Dead - Road To Fiddler's Green
10. Stronghold Crusader

1. Diablo 2
2. Sacrifice
3. Master of Orion 2
4. Warcraft III
5. Risk of Rain
6. Bulletstorm
7. League of Legends
8. Unreal Tournament 2004
9. Majesty
10. Planescape: Torment

Might and Magic I
Might and Magic II
Might and Magic III
Might and Magic IV
Might and Magic V
Might and Magic VI
Shining in the Darkness
Final Fantasy XII
Agarest
Breath of Fire IV (only because I want to play it SOOO much, but never played it for real, there was always something stopping me from playing it shortly after starting)

10 games to save - is it another way to say "10 games you'd take with you to the grave"?

1. Assassin's Creed II
2. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
3. The Last of Us
4. Borderlands 2 GOTY
5. Skyrim
6. Settlers 4
7. Pillars of Eternity
8. Age of Decadance
9. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2
10. Planescape Torment (but only so I could finally play it as I have not played it yet and have heard so many good things about it)

If I was to not take Planescape Torment it would be Forza 4

I'm assuming you meant only games we own on GOG, in that case:

1. System Shock Enhanced Edition
2. Fallout
3. Freespace
4. Thief Gold
5. Morrowind
6. Aliens vs Predator classic 2000
7. Icewind Dale
8. Silent Service
9. F-117A Nighthawk
10. IL-2 Sturmovik

Wasteland 2
Distant Universe
Civilization 3
Hearts of Iron III
X3
Satellite reign
Alea Jacta Est
Hegemony
Age of decadence
Il2 1946

+1 to the OP. A brain bender of a thread to be sure. I need to think about this one. :D

I agree. This thread has potential.

When I find 10 games that satisfy me, I'll let you know.
